Yeah standoffish, which is why she's a little cat bun in my lap pressed up into my chub. Mmmhm.

Eyes up, Guardian. Almost complete Crimson kitbash and completed 4mm ghost shell. Now to finish the gun and two obnoxious shoulder pads and hope I can paint fast enough for the first deadline. #nerdlings

A space wolf marine arm, a hand holding what used to be a plasma pistol and now looks kinda like the Crimson hand cannon from Destiny 2. It lies next to a tiny bit of carved styrene in the shape of the stereotypical ghost shell from the same game.

Destiny's weird ass armor proportions and geometry work for me as a lousy sculptor. But only if I can stop futzing until I can sand it. #nerdlings

Stormcast legs, imperial guard torso, and a bunch of inexpertly added green stuff armor panels and titan butt flag.

Goat Rock Beach. I could not get a good seal picture but they were great to watch for a while.

Goat Rock Beach in California. Sand, light surf, blue sky. A driftwood stack is piled in a teepee shape and there are some bird blocks making patterns in the sky. The last of the morning fog is just burning away on the horizon.

My hot #nerdlings take is that it's jarring and feels wrong that tyranids have hooves. If I wanted goats I'd be playing Beastmen.

One slightly sketchy photo of a complete #SpaceWolves army to tabletop standard. If I ever do my own space marine army every last one of 'em is getting MKVI shoulder pads, fuck that tiny lip. #WarhammerCommunity #Nerdlings #MiniPainting

The painted Space Wolves army box set plus a trio of Thunderwolf Cavalry and Bjorn-The-Magnetized-so-can-be-not-Bjorn too. Paint job done in the older more blue-y grey tones and vivid yellows and reds. Based to have dirt, snow, and ice

When your brother won't move but you want to be up high so you accept you'll have to scrunch up and cuddle him. #caturday

A large black cat with a white bowtie fur patch lounges on a cat perch shaped like a tori gate. His smaller silver tabby sister is behind him scrunched up and resting her head on his hindquarters. He has no thoughts and she has mild annoyance.

Three #spacewolf headtakers done but for basing with the rest of the army. #Nerdlings #warhammercommunity

Three species wolf headtaker models done in a blue grey with brown fur and red accents. The bases are not yet complete because the painter is a lazy sod who just wants to do it in one go and not make up batches of snow over and over

I'm working on a #SpaceWolf Headtaker and this dude has a half shaved cape and his fur codpiece on backwards. He's clearly already having a fucking day even before he has to fight anyone. And neither of his squadmates have told him about his codpiece. #Nerdlings #Warhammer40k

The cape, lower torso region and legs for a space wolves headtaker model. The cape has intricate fur sculpted only on the top half, fading out like it has mange in the lower half. On the lower torso piece where other space wolf models have a fur loin cloth/cod piece this guy's is backwards, with the leather facing outwards and fur facing inwards.

Despite past me being an utter bastard who didn't clean the cheap ass airbrush I use to prime, one space wolves army done before I mysteriously had problems getting anything to spray... #Nerdlings

An airbrush needle on a bit of shop towel. There is a ridiculous amount of gunk built up along the length that interacts with the actual spraying.

Great success! Okay, simple success but I'll take it. Magnetized the shooting arm of the Venerable Dreadnought/Bjorn the Fell-handed to allow simple gun swaps and still keep the arm magnetized. Now it can be run as three of the four configurations in the box. #nerdlings

The right arm shoulder of a Venerable Dreadnought model, with the bolter, melta, and flamer around it. They have had a magnet inserted to match the existing hole in the shoulder. They can be slid into and out of place and help keep the shoulder magnetized to allow for whole arm swaps

Remember: if you're cold, they are cold. With a one time donation of styrene or spruegoo you can give a Slave to Darkness the bottom quarter of their cape back. And with it keep them warm and dignified. #nerdlings #AOS #WarhammerCommunity

A cape for a slaves to darkness mini that originally, by design, was missing almost a quarter of its area. Now propped up on a hobby knife showing it's been repaired/extended with styrene and sprue good. It still needs a bloody good sanding.

I don't know what a #16 blade is supposed to be for. But it's hella good at scraping off trim from hard to reach bits of my #slavestodarkness army WIP. This aspiring champion has so much trim. #Nerdlings

A #16 xacto knife blade, instead of the usual #11, pointing at where the fancy chaos trim has been scraped off the chest plate of an aspiring champion model. A huge number of spikes have also been trimmed off the armor and boots.

I haven't finished an army yet in part because I tend to build slow and kitbash/mod a lot. Behold! A solution using an old keyboard box and foam core. Now I can build units and keep parts straight as I scrape trim and modify! #nerdlings #warhammercommunity
